Airlines Expected to Increase Bank Borrowing in 2026

Airlines in India are expected to borrow more money from banks in 2026.

This is because they plan to add many new planes, hire more staff, and expand their services to other countries.

They also need to manage higher costs for fuel, leases, and foreign exchange.

Even though they borrowed less in 2025, the total amount of loans they have is still growing.

However, the industry is expected to make losses, which might make them rely more on external funding.
